This American Rogue poster isn’t exactly subtle, is it? We have a big ass alligator, jaws wide open, trying to eat a bunch of ragged letters. Which is meant to convey that the movie will have a giant ass alligator which will try to eat a bunch of people. No actors in the poster because, [...]

How strong is the X-Files brand right now? That is the question I find myself asking as I look at this poster.
It’s a fine teaser in many ways. We have Mulder and Scully, we have the big X and we have a sense of possible danger and of mysterious things being revealed. It’s simple, [...]

I don’t normally feature posters for short films. Not that I have anything against them, I just don’t generally stumble across posters for shorts. But thanks to twitch that changed today, and so I bring you the poster for the The Facts in the Case of Mr. Hollow.[...]

It’s got a cool blue tinge, so it must be a poster for a creepy horror movie.
Honestly, the most interesting thing about this poster is the “From the Creators of CRANK” bit (they wrote the movie, by the way). Now, I didn’t actually like CRANK all that much, but it had enough bright moments to [...]

The first poster for Shutter, which you can see above, got some nice notices from some parts.

It also connects perfectly with the film’s story, which involves ghostly images appearing in common photographs.
And yet, I [...]

Ok, now this is interesting. Via Shock Till You Drop and JoBlo we have two posters for the Ruins. Both quite similar, but in one we have a hand coming out of the ground and in the other we have a human head.[...]

ShockTillYouDrop has a look at the poster for Book of Blood made for the Berlin film festival. I like the idea of it. The Books of Blood were a series of books written by Clive Baker composed of several horror short stories. The very first story in the first book is about a man that [...]

Zombies are awesome. Cowgirl in a bikini? Also awesome. Samurai swords? Even more awesome. So a poster for a movie that combines all those things has to be almost incomprehensibly awesome, right?
Wrong.
As you can see above, that poster turns out to be rather dull. That image would probably make for a fine cover photo for [...]

For such low key movie (from a marketing push and budget perspective) Funny Games sure has had a lot of posters. Three might not seem like much, but this is the type of film that I would expect to normally have just one US poster.
And what is more interesting, the third poster is very [...]
